        </DataTemplate>
        </ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ComboBox>

Answer 1

In what way isn't it working? Is an exception thrown, is the project not compiling, or is the setting is not getting saved?

Don't forget that you must expressly save settings once they are modified. For this reason, you might do better to bind to an ICommand that applies and saves the setting, rather than to the setting directly, or add a "save" button that is bound to such a command.

Adding SelectedValuePath="Source" solve this problem.
